Ma, L. (author), Qiu, Z. (author), Van Mieghem, P.F.A. (author), Kitsak, M.A. (author)Epidemic forecasts are only as good as the accuracy of epidemic measurements. Is epidemic data, particularly COVID-19 epidemic data, clean, and devoid of noise? The complexity and variability inherent in data collection and reporting suggest otherwise. While we cannot evaluate the integrity of the COVID-19 epidemic data in a holistic fashion, we...journal article 2024

Achterberg, M.A. (author), Prasse, B. (author), Ma, L. (author), Trajanovski, S. (author), Kitsak, M.A. (author), Van Mieghem, P.F.A. (author)Researchers from various scientific disciplines have attempted to forecast the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The proposed epidemic prediction methods range from basic curve fitting methods and traffic interaction models to machine-learning approaches. If we combine all these approaches, we obtain the Network Inference-based...journal article 2022

Ma, L. (author), Kitsak, M.A. (author), Van Mieghem, P.F.A. (author)Despite many studies on the transmission mechanism of the Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), it remains still challenging to efficiently reduce mortality. In this work, we apply a two-population Susceptible-Infected-Removed (SIR) model to investigate the COVID-19 spreading when contacts between elderly and non...conference paper 2022
